On this episode of REACH, we’re joined by Camille Geddes, Executive Assistant to Chris Britt, CEO of Chime, one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the U.S. Before joining Chime, Camille built an impressive career supporting executives at Forward, Square, Plaid, and ClassDojo, where she partnered with founders and CEOs through periods of rapid growth and transformation. In this conversation, Camille shares why motherhood has made her a stronger Executive Assistant, sharpening her efficiency, decision-making, and ability to prioritize what matters most. She also opens up about the often-unspoken realities of aging in the EA profession, challenging assumptions about longevity, relevance, and career growth. Whether you're balancing work and family, navigating a demanding partnership, or thinking about the next stage of your career, this episode offers an honest look at building a successful career that's strengthened by life beyond the office.

Why do some tasks energize you while others leave you completely drained? In this episode of REACH, Jessica sits down with leadership coach, speaker, and Better Conversations podcast host Kara List to explore the Working Genius framework and how it can strengthen the EA–executive partnership.

Kara helps female founders navigate one of the toughest transitions in business: moving from building a company to leading the people inside it. Through her coaching work, she helps leaders better understand their strengths, communicate more effectively, and scale their impact through others.

Drawing on Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius model, Kara shares how understanding your natural strengths can improve collaboration, reduce friction, and create stronger working relationships. Together, Jessica and Kara discuss how EAs can better understand themselves, gain insight into the executives they support, and build more aligned, productive partnerships.

If you've ever felt out of sync with your executive or wondered why you each approach work differently, this episode is for you. To learn more about Kara's offerings, visit her website at https://heykaralist.com/
